It was a cold winter day when I brought home the newest member of our sweet little family. A cute little furball named "Dou Dou". Chris was delighted that I had brought home this dog and It seemed to me he wanted nothing more than to love him and sqeeze him and Kiss him and hug him. He said to me, "Your not bringing a F#*#ing dog home are you?"
To that I replied," well yah, I hope that's okay".
"Okay Okay", Chris said reluctantly. "But I'm not feeding him, and I'm not cleaning any shit or piss up either."
"Yah, Yah Yah, no problem." I said".
Well to those statements Chris remained true, for the first couple months of Dou Dou's well.. strange little life. You see immediatly Dou Dou recognized me as his master and Chris as well, how can I put this, lower in the food chain than him.
As their relationship developed a routine also began to take shape. Dou Dou would start to bully Chris, Chris would fight back although a little apprehensively and eventually Dou Dou would snap at Chris and Chris would freak out and throw Dou Dou in his bedroom. In response Dou Dou would throw himself up against the door in sheer rage untill either growing weary or fogetting why he was angry in the first place. This happened many many times with no real progress happening in there relationship.
This leads me to the other day when I realized that Chris was actually bothered by Dou Dou's dislike for him. Maggie, Chris and I had just visited a beautiful area of town called "The Nine Dragon Pond". We were laughing and joking on the way home when our conversation sort of sputered away. We continued walking without talking to much.....
Chris's thinking pattern," stupid f*##*ing dog I'm gonna get home and that stupid dog is gonna start by growling at meand then..." and out loud Chris starated barking like a crazy man, "ARF ARF ARF RRRRRRR ARF ARF". Maggie and I burst into laughter as this relationship has been an on going joke for a little while now.
This is of course my version of this story, I'm sure Chris has a different version. It would go something like this.
"That stupid psycho dog is holding a grudge against me and I don't know why"
And Here is Dou Dou's version.
"Sniff Sniff, RRRRRRRRR ... ARF ARF ARF "
And in all honesty the dog is a little shit disturber. But he's my little shit disturber!
I hope you had some laughs and just to let you know, recently they no longer exist as mortal enemies. Due to Chris's recent effort to feed the little brat, and to let Dou Dou know where he really does stand.
